Khunnt - Brazen Bull + album & live deets

This is the sound of what is happening to J Saville in a special unit in Hell (previous occupant M Thatcher and reserved for one T Blair)...

it is also utterly wonderful - I feel like I have just had several pints of poison and bile extracted from me...

It's from an album called 'Brazen Bull' which comes out on Swap Meat Records in two weeks time as a cassette/ download

Ltd edition cassette (50) but they do re-runs if there is enough demand...

And if you can get to Glasgow and fancy a further drubbing they are headlining friday night at this...

I've checked and yes that was the wonderful singer-songwriter Richard Dawson as uber-clown!

Art - Suzanne Partridge

This is my favourite artist. I first came across her when she was painting in the gatefold sleeves of 200 Hey Colossus albums for Riot Season Records. She did them in a matter of months, and was posting them as she went along. They were staggeringly wonderful, and I actually had a slide show of them running on my PC for ages as a vast improvement on TV. A bit of research threw up that she is a fine artist. Anyway I shan't prattle on, there's just too much to explain so I will post some examples of what she does. The paintings are generally really big by the way, and photos cannot do them justice-

Those two are quite recent. Then we get some 'greatest hits' (well, in my head they are) 

(this one has an open wound from which a sacred heart has been torn)

and then just some detail from some earlier work- 

and here is a self portrait that I adore. It's not so much how she looks but it is very much how she feels... 

and she feels everything.

Mainliner on kids TV

Henry Blacker - Crab House (Riot Season Records 2014)

First track from one of the best albums of next year!

Henry Blacker - Hungry Dogs Will Eat Dirty Puddings

Stuff 2013, here's one of the best albums of 2014. Finally England provides a credible power trio response to ZZ Top and Josh Homme-ness activity! One of the (many) things I like about Hey Colossus is their unrepentant Rockist streak, and boy is that made manifest on this offshoot. Fans of 70's heavy boogie will love it, but it'll also appeal to folk that dig Clint Foetus, Rapeman, Pixies, Kyuss, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, and the new Belligerants in the Midlands and North. But Henry Blacker hail from Somerset! They take their name from

"Modern Colossus" Hey?

It's available for pre-order on vinyl and cassette from Riot Season Records (released 21 January 2014), and the cassette is strangely appropriate because these 8 musings on aging, power, and failure are driving music. This is the cassette that the maniac in the monster truck is playing as he tries to mow you down in a 70's drive-in movie. It's the cassette Kowalski is playing to keep his drug and fatigue-addled mind alive as he heads for the Vanishing Point. Now I am aware that one member of this band does a heck of a lot of driving...

Anyway here's a taster. The album starts with a riff that would sit quite happily on the Grand Funk; Blues for the Red Sun; or Deguello albums but within seconds the Henry Blacker English Power-Boogie identity is patented. Some of the vocs treatments are classic Billy Gibbons (the Manic Mechanic sprang to mind). The passage that commences at 1:45 is the absolute SHIT!

Will be out in US on Learning Curve Records. 

Bad Guys - Witness a New Low

Well they are in the current show but it appears that there is a video. Given that they have no money this is very impressive.

The album is out now on the ever reliable Riot Season Records, and here is the wonderful back-sleeve shot I was creating about in the show 

That's what I meant!

and don't forget this gig...helluva lineup in a great venue
